A shame but only after a fashion.  I tried Iron Python + Visual 
Studio.  The promise of this combo to me is that GUI interfaces could 
be created visually and then implemented by Python code.

Well, yes, ok.  But the class implementing the GUI was effectively 
STATIC.  I could not define class variables or methods.  IIRC, the 
static limitation ruled out spawning worker threads that were 
dynamic.  I stopped looking at Iron Python about a year ago.  I also 
gave up on Visual Studio at the same time.

C Python works just fine and without dynamic Visual Studio 
integration, I didn't see any advantage to Iron Python.  I understand 
that running under the .NET CLR is a difference over native Windows 
API via ctypes.  For me, that difference is not an advantage but 
merely a difference.
